Meet the new zoning reformers
The recently appointed members of the Zoning Code Commission face the enormous task of rebuilding the city's outdated zoning code. In rewriting the code, the commissioners will determine what parts of Philadelphia's past to protect, and what this city's neighborhoods will look like in the future. It will not be quick or easy.
So who are the people making these big decisions? www.planphilly.com is asking each appointed commissioner a set of questions designed to give citizens a better understanding of this process and the people carrying it out. We will be publishing all 31 of them over the coming weeks. Just click on the name for the profile and Q&A. The commissioners' responses are in their exact words, except where parenthesis appear.
I am all for Zoning Code reform, but I wonder how these folks were picked? Delilah Winder?! (Of Delilah's restaurant (not the strip club!) fame- she makes a mean mac and cheese (Oprah's favorite!) but what qualifies her for this post? Sorry, I ain't hatin' on her- she is a long time Phila. citizen/businesswoman, which I guess should qualify her.
